Meet our first Dragon Slayer, Marley. Doesn't she look perfect for the job? Long claws to pierce directly through tough dragon scales and lots of extra skin to shield her from fiery breath. Earlier last month, I asked Dog a Day fans to submit candidates for a dragon painting concept - you can see the entrants over on the studio Facebook page. It was a very difficult decision - so many wonderful options! I immediately decided that what was to be one painting needed to become a series. And little Marley will be the first muse for the first Dragon Slayer painting, a piece I will start later this week (it's due at the gallery in 10 days! yikes!). I stretched and primed a large canvas this afternoon, getting myself ready to invite her and her nemesis into the studio. Once I finish Mya. (And I do see the copyright on this photo - rest assured I have Judy Wood's permission. I never paint from photos I have not taken without express permission of the photographer.) Thanks, as always, for looking at and sharing my paintings with your friends and family, Kim JUST ANNOUNCED!! PAINTING WORKSHOP: Saturday, October 8th, at the Orion Art Center in Lake Orion MICHIGAN, for reservations call 248-693-4986

Dear Copyright Thieves, Just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it's free for the taking. So let's just stop pretending the internet is a free-for-all. Don't play the card that you didn't know - that's insulting. And don't also tell me that you meant to follow up and get permission but never got a chance to. That's insulting too. And by the way, don't you have a copyright protection notice on your own site? And don't even try and point the finger at a third party who commissioned you to make a copy of my painting - again, an insult - you and I both know the difference between a reference photo and a painting. And don't tell me that I asked for it because I share my artwork on the internet. I share my paintings and ideas and the stories behind them so as to encourage others to pursue their own passions . I do not share so that those lacking integrity and morals can copy and market the images as their own...
